This application claims the priority of China Patent Application No. 202322390608.7, filed on Sep. 4, 2023, which is entitled “Tattooing Slit Needle”, and all the contents of the above application and its amendments are incorporated into this application by reference.
The present invention relates to the technical field of tattooing, in particular to a tattooing device.
Tattoo needle is a special tool for tattoo operation, and its design and material are very important for the effect and safety of tattoo. The working principle of tattoo needle is to evenly puncture the epidermis at a high speed, and implant ink into the dermis under the epidermis. In this way, the human body will try to devour and eliminate foreign invaders when dealing with damaged white blood cells, and the pigment particles are small and easy to be swallowed and can be permanently fixed on the epidermis, forming patterns and characters of various pigment combinations, thus completing tattoos.
In the tattooing needle of the prior art, the needle tip opening of the needle mouth is usually a smooth and flat surface, and the adsorption force between the ink and the needle mouth is not strong, so that when the needle is inserted back and forth from the needle mouth, it is easy to cause ink dripping, ink leakage, ink ejection and the like, which affects the tattooing effect and efficiency; in addition, during the tattooing process of the existing tattooing needle, the needle mouth is mostly inclined downwards, so that the ink flowing out of the needle mouth tends to pollute tattoo machine, and may even cause cross infection of diseases.
Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new tattoo needle. When ink is stored in the needle mouth, the adsorption force between the ink and the needle mouth is greater, thus effectively reducing the occurrence of ink dripping, ink leakage, ink ejection and the like in the tattoo process; moreover, the novel tattooing needle can recycle the ink flowing out of the needle mouth in case of ink leakage during tattooing, so as to avoid ink pollution or cross infection of diseases.

The needle mouth 200 is hollow and communicates with the needle handle 100, and the interior of the needle handle 100 is provided with a guide sleeve 600, and the other end of the needle handle 100 is inserted with an end cover 400; in other embodiments, the end cover 400 is connected by means of, including but not limited to, threaded connection, clamping and the like, and when the end cover 400 and the needle handle 100 are connected by means of threaded connection, the connection between the end cover 400 and the needle handle 100 is closer and the stability is high; while connecting the end cover 400 in a clamping way makes the installation and disassembly of the end cover 400 more convenient.
The inner end of the end cover 400 extends into the needle handle 100 and is set as a connecting part 401, and there is a gap between the connecting part 401 and the needle handle 100. The outer surface of the connecting part 401 is provided with a clamping groove 402 located inside the needle handle 100, and the interior of the connecting part 401 is provided with a slideway 403. The needle rod 300 includes a push rod 301, a sliding rod 302, a connecting rod 303 and a needle 304. The sliding rod 302 is located in the slideway 403 and is connected with the slideway 403 in a sliding way; the push rod 301 is installed at the outer end of the sliding rod 302 and penetrates out of the end cover 400; the connecting rod 303 is installed at the inner end of the sliding rod 302 and penetrates through and is connected with the guide sleeve 600 in a sliding way; the needle 304 is installed at the other end of the connecting rod 303, and the tip of the needle 304 extends into the needle mouth 200; the needle 304 can be connected with the connecting rod 303 in a detachable connection way, including but not limited to threaded connection, clamping and the like, and the needle 304 can be replaced by the detachable connection way.
An elastic member 500 located between the guide sleeve 600 and the end cover 400 is sleeved outside the connecting rod 303, and the other end of the elastic member 500 is sleeved outside the connecting part 401 and embedded in the clamping groove 402.
The outer surface of the elastic member 500 is provided with a corrugated part 501, which is attached to the inner surface of the needle handle 100. The elastic member 500 is made of soft silica gel, and the needle handle 100 is provided with a cleaning port 102 communicating with the ink receiving groove 101, and the cleaning port 102 is communicated with the interior of the needle handle 100.
The elastic member 500 made of silica gel will generate elastic force when it is stretched. By arranging the corrugated part 501, the elastic member 500 can be closely attached to the inner surface of the needle handle 100, so that the elastic member 500 can be fixed between the connecting part 401 and the needle handle 100 through the matching of the corrugated part 501 and the clamping groove 402.
According to the above, the sliding rod 302 can slide in the slideway 403, and the push rod 301 can be connected with the driving part of tattoo machine, so that tattoo machine can push the sliding rod 302 to slide in the slideway 403 through the push rod 301; the sliding rod 302 synchronously drives the connecting rod 303 and the needle 304 to slide, and when the connecting rod 303 slides, the elastic member 500 will be elongated and generate elastic force. Therefore, through the matching of the elastic member 500 and the driving part of the tattoo machine, the needle rod 300 can be pushed to slide back and forth in the needle handle 100, so that the needle 304 can penetrate through the needle tip opening 201 back and forth. During the back and forth movement of the needle rod 300, the guide sleeve 600 can guide and support the movement of the needle rod 300, thus improving the stability of the movement of the needle rod 300.
When the tattooing device is used, the needle tip opening 201 at the needle mouth 200 can be inserted into the ink to dip the ink, so that when the needle 304 penetrates through the needle tip opening 201 back and forth, the ink at the needle tip opening 201 will stick to the needle 304 and then pierce into the human skin.
By arranging the slit 202 at the needle tip opening 201, when the ink is located in the needle tip opening 201, the slit 202 can increase the contact area between the needle mouth 200 and the ink, so that the ink can be well stored in the needle tip opening 201 by using the surface tension of the ink and the adhesion between the liquid and the solid, and it is not easy to cause ink dripping, ink leakage, ink jet and ink shortage during the tattoo process, thus improving the tattoo efficiency.
The slit 202 is not limited to the straight shape in this embodiment. In the second application mode of the slit 202, as shown in
In the third embodiment of the slit 202, as shown in
In the fourth embodiment of the slit 202, as shown in
To sum up, the shape of the slit 202 is not limited to the above-described shape, but can also be any other shape that is conducive to storing ink.
By arranging the flow blocking part 104 and the ink return port 103, the needle handle 100 and the needle mouth 200 are held obliquely upwards during the tattooing process, so that if ink leaks from the needle tip opening 201, the ink will flow downwards along the needle mouth 200, and the flow blocking part 104 will block the ink flowing downwards and collect it in the ink receiving groove 101. The collected ink will enter the needle handle 100 through the ink return port 103 for collection; Therefore, through this structure, it is possible to prevent the leaked ink from polluting the outside of the needle handle 100 and tattoo machine, so as to better achieve hygiene and cleaning and prevent cross infection.
In other embodiments, a sealing ring can be installed between the guide sleeve 600 and the connecting rod 303, so that the guide sleeve 600 can also play a sealing role, so that when the ink is collected in the needle handle 100, the guide sleeve 600 can prevent the ink from flowing to the elastic member 500.
At the same time, the elastic member 500 also plays a second sealing effect, preventing the ink collected in the needle handle 100 from flowing to the end cover 400 and preventing the ink from overflowing from the gap between the end cover 400 and the push rod 301.
By setting the cleaning port 102, it is convenient to clean the ink in the needle handle 100. At the same time, because the cleaning port 102 is also communicated with the ink receiving groove 101, the ink entering the ink receiving groove 101 can also enter the needle handle 100 through the cleaning port 102 for collection. At the same time, the cleaning port 102 also plays a role of ventilation, which can exhaust the air in the needle handle 100 and facilitate the smooth backflow of the ink into the needle handle 100.
